Newcastle upon Tyne

 

She probably married into the South Shields 2 Line in about 1945, but I have found no record of the marriage and can’t identify who she married.

 

She had ten children between 1947 and 1954 (including quadruplets), many of whom died in infancy or at birth.

 

1966

 

Catherine Farndale died age 45, in 1966 and her death was registered in Newcastle upon Tyne in the first quarter of 1966 (GRO Vol 1b page 211).
